A great series is on Netflix-and recently made it to #1 internationally-and it's completely set in the Azores!! Sao Miguel specifically, and even more specifically-in the town of Rabo de Peixe. It's the poorest town of all of the islands, but the characters see a chance to make money and chaos ensues of course. But watch it bc its the ONLY semi-mainstream thing to hit movies that comes out of the Azores or is even about them. I share some thoughts about the plot but also what it means to want to come to America-and unlike a lot of other immigrant groups in America, the Azoreans have strong ties to the islands and it's not uncommon to come back. Listen to this episode, then watch the show and tell me what you think!!
